South Carolina Raaaacists About to Elect Black Republican??

Interesting news from South Carolina overnight. South Carolina voters selected Tim Scott as the Republican nominee for SC's 1st Congressional District. Scott happens to be a Black gentleman who was running against Strom Thurmond’s son . . . and beat him by a 68% to 32% margin . . . among South Carolina Republican primary voters.

Yes, raaaaacists.

The First District has elected a Republican for three decades. So unless those raaaacists discover that he’s Black, his chances are good. ;^)

In all seriousness, I am glad to see this. The House has lacked a Black conservative voice since the retirement of J. C. Watts. It looks like South Carolina will remedy that.
